BTW stofzuiger, would you be interested in doing some of the balancing? I'd be happy to have you suggest different prices for ships and items for example, based on your experience. That or mission rewards. You've probably played the game more than me at this point... (serious play, not testing stuff).

Money hasn't been a problem for me, you can do 10 courier missions for around 1M a piecestart by reducing those as it stands out. (/2)

Personell has been too cheap. They have been of no worry (bribing may change that) (*2)

I've been slaying scores 20+ of medium ships in betelgeuze space yet my ranking wont go over 5%, whats up with that?for Ixum I did manage to get to 10% by fragging pirates and buy a entry license.Reputation through pirate fragging should perhaps be a bit more agressively influencing (*2)
